HOW THE ORGANISATION WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE DISSEMINATION AND EXPLOITATION OF THE PROJECT RESULTS
The department Green Tech Solutions deals with the greater need for adequate insurance coverage to stabilize the business performance trend in a sustainable way, or to implement long-term plans occurring from a greener energy supply. Besides this it shows ways for green investments.
This part of the company will cooperate within the GrenFin-project and offers to give some seminars about themes like Renewable energies and energy system transformation from the perspective of the insurance industry, Insurability of technological risks, Influences of climate change on risk management, etc. This allows the students of the pilote class to get an insight into green risks from the point of view of a reinsurer.
